Property fire

We received a call reporting that a caravan was on fire, and immediately sent two fire engines. When the firefighters arrived they quickly requested the help of a further two fire engines and a water carrier.

The fire had quickly spread from the caravan to an adjacent stable block, and six LPG cylinders were also involved in the fire - these were venting. 

Breathing apparatus, main jets, hose reels were initially set up to start extinguishing the fire and to cool the cylinders, followed by using the water bowser, a hydrant and an open water source. 

The caravan was completely destroyed by the fire, and the stable block was around 80% damaged.

The cause of the fire was accidental.
